Chapter 327

Lily Lane never told Bobo how the line below the mountain is now. Bobo wanted to ask several times, but Lily Lane shook her head, signaling that she should not know so much.

As for Bobo, although Ling Lan didn't say anything, but looking at Ling Lan's reaction, she more or less guessed something, and quietly closed her mouth, never wanting to ask about things below the mountain.

It's just that they don't intend to pay attention to the things below the mountain, and the residents below the mountain who are about to die have made up their minds on the mountain.

Originally, this was nothing. After all, this mountain did not belong to Suzulan and her family. There was no problem in going up the mountain to find some food in such a famine year.

but!Today is ancient times, women's status itself is supposed to be low, and these two little girls are still in their prime, and now it is a disaster-ridden situation. If they are really met by those disaster victims, it is impossible for them to What will the two face.

Fortunately, the mountain itself is not short, and those victims are also afraid of what is on the mountain, and dare not let higher places climb.

Suzuran goes out early and comes back late recently, which makes Bobo a little nervous.

She faintly understood that they might not live in this place for a long time.

Another three to five days passed in a flash, and Ling Lan came back this time covered in mud, and then told her to start packing.

Now the victims have eaten half of the mountain bald!
This is not a metaphor, but a serious description!
People who are extremely hungry dare to eat anything!Not to mention those bark and grass roots, even those worms that look hideous and don't taste very good, if they meet them, they will be put in their mouths to fill their stomachs.

These days, there are as many people dying of starvation as people suffering from food poisoning, people seem to be crazy, even once, when Lily Lan came back, she met two families and exchanged food for their children.

Although the two skinny children had already starved to death, seeing the two families drooling over the child's corpse, Ling Lan couldn't help feeling a little chilly.

This is already the third month of natural disasters, and just three months is enough to drive humans to such a point.

Linglan quietly led Bobo all the way down the mountain. Halfway there, the two women had to pretend to be victims of the disaster who also came up the mountain to look for food.

Fortunately, Ling Lan had the foresight and didn't bring anything out. The two women in shabby clothes and muddy bodies went down the mountain smoothly.

Although many people focused their attention on these two people, they turned their heads when they saw that these two people were also digging the roots of turf trees.

After all, Lily of the Valley and Bobo are a bit fatter than the other victims, so it's only natural that they get attention.

In this way, Ling Lan took Bobo all the way to the original village.

Seeing the current village, let alone Bobo, even Ling Lan, who has been back several times, couldn't help but look gloomy.

The originally prosperous village was now completely buried in the soil. If it weren't for Suzuran's leadership, Bobo would not be able to tell that this was the place where they lived before even if they walked here.

Bobo's lips moved, as if to say something, but she was afraid of getting an answer that would make her feel panicked.

Fortunately, Lily of the Valley is a considerate person, seeing her like this, she explained.

"Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. When it rains too much, mudslides will occur. It is not the knowledge summed up in modern times. The people in the village moved after a day of heavy rain, and at the same time they took away the property of the old and the young in the village. That's why it's empty here."

In fact, not only their village was transferred, but also a few other nearby villages. That's why this place has not been patronized by desolate people, because everyone knows that there is nothing left in these villages. Therefore, there is no need to waste that time.

Suzuran led Bobo to walk above the original village that had become a dirt slope. After stumbling for a while, Bobo couldn't help but ask.

"Why do they still live in this place if they know it's unsafe?"

After hearing this, Suzuran looked at Bobo as if he were a fool.

Bobo was a little confused by Ling Lan's gaze, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the question he asked. Why did Ling Lan look at her like this?

In the end, it was Suzuran who spoke first.

"There is a river here, and the villages here are built along the river. Why do you say so?"

Bobo was puzzled, and didn't think it had anything to do with the group of people building their house in a dangerous place.

"They can't be for aquatic products."

Lily of the valley "hehe", she was amused by Bobo's words.

"Near mountains and rivers, the land here is not only fertile, but also can provide emergency relief in disaster years."

Looking at the increasingly bare mountains, Suzuran continued.

"Don't look at how fierce the victims are today. In fact, as long as the mountains are not eaten and no grass grows, and the river does not dry up due to long-term lack of water, the people here will be able to survive."

It has been three months, and the court's disaster relief is calculated according to normal, and it should come down soon.

Bobo thought about it and felt that he still didn't understand it.

Fortunately, Lily of the Valley has already brought Bobo to the destination.

This is the place where their home was originally located. At this time, Suzuran has dug a hole in this place. Suzuran gestured to Bobo, and Bobo thought about it, and then got in through the hole first. .

The hole is sloped, so be careful, you won't get hurt if you slip and fall to the bottom.

A hole was dug out by lily of the valley at the bottom of this slope. Bobo groped under the hole and recognized what it was.

Isn't this where their cellar is located?

The family where Lily of the Valley and the others lived was also a very good family, and of course there were such things as cellars.

He stretched out his hand and pulled the pull ring of the cellar. With a little effort and ingenuity, he opened the lid of the cellar very easily.

The cellar was relatively dark, Bobo squinted his eyes and looked down, but didn't dare to go down.

At this time, Lily of the Valley also came down. She fumbled around for a while, then picked up a simple torch, lit it with flint, and took Bobo down.

Their cellar is relatively large, but now there is nothing in it and it is very empty.

But compared to the extremely hot place outside, it was still good enough.

Lily of the valley took Bobo for a walk, and then said to Bobo.

"Let's live here for a while, and I'll take out the vent in a while, you stay here first, and I'll bring some food over."

Bobo nodded, and then he stayed in the basement obediently guarding the torch.

Linglan ran back and forth three or four times and returned quietly with several jars of preserved fruits and dried meat.

Of course, these are not all the food they have stored, but it is enough for them to last for a while.

Bobo didn't ask about the remaining food. After such a long time, Bobo has confidence in Lily of the valley, and knows that Lily of the valley has her own reasons for doing things. As long as Lily of the valley is there, they will not starve to death.

A few days later, seeing that the food was about to run out, Ling Lan went out to get some food and came back.

They have lived in this place for nearly a month. Compared with the time on the mountain, the only thing more convenient here is taking a bath.

After all, there is a well in the village. Although it was filled in due to the mudslide, with Lily of the Valley around, it was only a matter of time before it was dug out quietly.

However, when Bobo was studying the clothes they were going to wear in winter with the fur, Lily of the Valley called Bobo to move again.

This time the move was relatively far away, and at some point Linglan actually dug a passage in an inconspicuous place, and then climbed down along the passage to a cave.

It is relatively humid here, and the sound of water flowing can be faintly heard, and the air is relatively damp and cold. Lily of the valley is holding a torch. He looked at Lily of the Valley.

Although Bobo didn't know much about this aspect, she was still a modern anchor with knowledge and content. Faintly, she also had some guesses in her mind.

So, she asked Lily of the Sky starry-eyed.

"This can't be an underground river."

Lily of the valley nodded, then shook her head again.

"This is the hollow corroded by the underground river when the tide is high, and the bottom is the normal underground river bed. It's just that the drought is severe now, so these are exposed."

Bobo nodded, and then asked with some worry.

"Then what if there is more underground river water in the future?"

"Then move out."

With Lily's words, Bobo was relieved a lot, and started packing up happily.

It's cold and unsuitable for people to live in, but they have lily of the valley, and they can sneak in anything they want without making a sound.

As for Bobo, this man is very capable now, so it didn't take long for Bobo to stick to the wall where the hole was dug out by lily of the valley, and picked up a mud house, just to give the hole to him. wrapped in the house.

In this way, if the water really rises, the burnt solid soil can stop it for a while, and then they can climb out along the hole.

After settling down, Bobo began to find something to eat in the underground river in different ways.

However, although there are many "properties" in the underground river, they are not something you can catch if you want to. At least Bobo tried several times without any results. In the end, she worked hard to weave a big net When I came out, I caught three or two small fish, and happily boiled a pot of fish soup at night.

The days passed slowly like this, and Suzuran would sneak in some food from time to time. Every time she finished doing this, she would plug the hole outside, seal it tightly, and then follow them together. Bobo is hiding in this underground river, living a life like a man underneath.

Bobo didn't ask what was going on on the surface. He just hid quietly below and didn't clamor to go up and see Yunyun.

This kind of life is quite peaceful, except that he can't bask in the sun and his bones become a little weak, Bobo doesn't think there is anything bad about this kind of life.

Perhaps, Bobo also understood in his heart what Suzuran's cautious move meant.

It wasn't until Bobo noticed that the water in the underground river was getting less and less, and finally when it dried up, she panicked a little.

Lily of the Valley was dragged by Bobo to the riverbed where there was water, looked around, squatted down and touched the riverbed below, and finally thought about it before saying to Bobo.

"It's okay, I'll figure out a way."

What can Suzuran think of?In fact, Lily of the Valley didn't know much about these things, so the only way she could think of was - to dig!

Now that the underground river water has disappeared, it should be dug deeper, like digging a well, and the hole where the underground river water disappears should be enlarged and dug through. In this way, water should flow in.

Lily of the valley's method is considered a stupid method, and it feels a bit whimsical, but it is indeed a method that can be implemented.

At least, on the fifth day, there was another thin layer of water in the underground river.

When Bobo saw this layer of water, he almost cried with joy.

Especially Lily Lan didn't know how to fish out a big fish weighing three catties from the underground river.

The life of Bobo and Lily of the Valley has been improvised like this.

Until the winter, Bobo once again felt some crisis and tension.

It's not that this underground cave is uninhabitable after winter. On the contrary, their 'house' is very warm if there is enough coal.

It's just that Lily of the Valley went out more and more frequently in such weather, and brought something back every time she went out.

Sometimes it is some food, sometimes it is a basket of charcoal, and sometimes it is brought back with some ice and snow, which is poured into the dried underground river bed, blocking the entrance, and then forming a large area. 'puddle'.

Lily of the valley is busy every day, working non-stop like a hamster, watching Lily of the valley lose weight day by day, Bobo is crying every day.

To be honest, seeing Bobo crying miserably, Ling Lan was quite speechless.

She wanted to ask this girl more than once why you wanted to cry when you saw me.

But looking at her pitiful appearance, she swallowed such words.

The situation outside is indeed not very good. In fact, the food for disaster relief mentioned before has not been transported as scheduled, and the scope of natural disasters continues to expand, and the number of deaths is also increasing.

In the past, there were some families who exchanged their children for food, but now, many people have begun to secretly eat the corpses of those who died of starvation. The outside is like purgatory now, everyone's eyes are green, just It's like if one doesn't make it right, it will pounce on the living person and kill the living person, and then eat it.
